Housing reclamation wasn't added until 3.1. That's was literally the first time it ever came into effect and the first houses were demolished on December 25th 2015. Although I didn't get one myself, looking on reddit the example emails people posted at the time do show that they say "Please note, players only have 35 days from the day of demolition to retrieve items from the resident caretaker. After that point, indoor and outdoor furnishings and gil can no longer be retrieved.", so I'm afraid it looks like when you knew about it would be demolished, you missed that line.
